# Automation Triggers

Start a conversation with your AI employee automatically from a form submission, RSS feed, spreadsheet row, webhook, or any external event — no manual message needed.

Triggers are what make your AI employee truly autonomous. Instead of opening a chat and typing a message, you define the event that kicks things off and the employee runs on its own from that point forward.

Existing triggers include: webhook (any HTTP POST), schedule (cron), email (inbound to the mailbox), API call, and calendar invite. Coming soon: form submission, RSS feed item, and spreadsheet row update. Every trigger fires the same agent with the same memory and capabilities.

Use a webhook trigger to fire your employee the moment an order ships. Use a schedule trigger to generate your weekly report every Monday at 8 AM. Use a form trigger to route every lead from your website directly to your sales employee. Triggers turn channels into automated workflows.
